- Abstract: Objective Based on HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB pathway,to investigate the effects of Shenqi Yiliu decoction combined with cisplatin on H22 liver cancer tumor mice and the effects of related immune indicators.Methods 50 SPF grade male KM mice,10 mice were taken as blank group by random number table method,and the other 40 mice were replicated as H22 hepatocellular carcinoma tumor-bearing mice model.After successful replication of the model,the model mice were randomly divided into model group,cisplatin group(2.5×10-3 g·kg-1),Shenqi Yiliu decoction TCM group(27.03 g·kg-1),and Shenqi Yiliu decoction TCM(27.03 g·kg-1)combined with cisplatin(2.5×10-3 g·kg-1),10 mice in each group were treated for 13 d.Determine tumor suppression rate,spleen index and thymus index;HE observes changes in oncology pathology;streaming cells detect the level of CD4+T,CD8+T cells in the spleen tissue;PT-PCR and WB method detect genes and protein expression related to HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathways in tumor tissues.Results ①Compared with the blank group,the mean body mass and mouse spleen index,thymus index,CD4+ T cell level and CD4+T/CD8+T value were significantly lower and CD8+T cell level was higher in the model group(P<0.05);②Compared with the model group,the mean tumor mass decreased(P<0.05),tumor volume decreased(P<0.05),and body mass increased(P<0.05)in each treatment group,and the spleen index,thymus index,CD4+T cell level and CD4+T/CD8+T ratio increased and CD8+T cell level decreased in both the Chinese medicine group and the combination group,and the treatment effect was significant in the Chinese medicine group(P<0.05),and HMGB1,TLR4,MyD88,NF-κB mRNA and protein expression in tumor tissues of mice were reduced,and the effect was significant in the combined group(P<0.05).③Compared with the cisplatin group,HMGB1,TLR4,MyD88,NF-κB mRNA and protein expression were reduced in the tumor tissues of mice in the combination group(P<0.05).④HMGB1,TLR4,MyD88,NF-κB mRNA and protein expression in tumor tissues of mice in the combined group were reduced compared with those in the Chinese medicine group(P<0.05).Conclusion Shenqi Yiliu decoction combined with cisplatin can effectively inhibit tumor growth and improve related immune indexes in H22 hepatocellular carcinoma tumor-bearing mice,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of HMGB1/TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway activation.
